She needed them SOLD and gone. She'd been in my program for a while, she had her email marketing in place, and had learned to nurture her list. But hadn't been focused on talking about hogs, so was hoping to at least sell a half-hog and free up even a tiny bit of space. She put together a quick email to send before ...

Click HERE to Get on the Waitlist for 5X Your Farm Sales This week a farmer asked for coaching because she has writer’s block and often feels stuck when she sits down to write. Yet she knows her farm's success depends on her being able to write emails to sell, descriptions on her website that will sell, social media posts that will sell. And yet when she feels blocked and uninspired, the result is sales are slow and difficult because of this writer’s block which is not allowing her to write. Ugh...

Click HERE to Get on the Waitlist for 5X Your Farm Sales One of the biggest problems farmers share with me is they struggle to build a big, loyal customer base who will keep coming back season after season and continue paying, without complaint, our higher-than-grocery-store prices.

Click HERE to Get on the Wait List for 5X Your Farm Sales When I started my farm in 2009, it was so much more than my livelihood. I started the farm because I watched my family heal from chronic illnesses after eating the products I raise. I then got to witness my property go from a weed-infested dirt lot, over-grazed by horses, to a thriving mini-ecosystem. And over the years, I’ve helped hundreds, if not thousands of families in my community find health, connection, and joy at my farm. But at ...

The ONLY thing in the way of you making a profit on your farm - is YOU. Lemme explain. Truth is, you...
